FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

The real issue IMO is that recent events have pretty much proven that both big instances and small instances are problematic for different reasons.

Fair point.
